I'm in that same mood--glad I'm not the only one. I noticed a few surprises today, too, including slow-moving pollinators and still surviving Fuchsias and Impatiens. I even noticed a tiny Hyacinth Bean bud--I'm not sure it will bloom in time before the cold sets in again... Beautiful photos, as always, Kathleen.

That's a lovely shot of the butterfly enjoying a late flower. The monarch looks like a stained glass work of art. I've had to give up on monkshood, but I really used to appreciate the late blooms. You have to love the various Campanula for their fall hardiness. They are the few still trying to flower in my garden after the frosts.

Though it is mild here, autumn seems to be moving along. The trees have turned color and are starting to drop their leaves.
I like your little decorative touches, Kathleen.
My monkshood needs to be moved I think. Though I had read that it tolerates shade and planted it accordingly, it does not seem to like shade at all. It never blooms!
I did not know that foxglove are capable of reblooming-interest to note!

Kathleen, I hope you are not pushing that cold weather over to us, because we hit 80 today! But I know the weekend is supposed to be cooler. Darn. I planted my bulbs today, in the heat! What a pleasure.
